Online Purchase - Instagram Ad Retail Website Scam

Saw the company post on Instagram they were closing their business so I wanted to support them. Order was confirmed and a tracking number sent to me saying the order was on the way. Now it's telling me the order doesn't exist and it's a week after I placed the order.

Online Purchase

I order 2 shoes that state they have arch support. The shoes arrived and do not have any arch support. I attempted to return them. I tried to call the phone number but it is an automated message that says to contact them via their email and hangs up on you. I emailed them and they responded a few days later after I talked to my credit card that it was fraudulent. The email I received made it very challenging to return the shoes as I now have to mail them to China which was not mentioned at all on their website. It will cost me about the same amount to mail them back. The website makes it seem it is an easy return but it is not. And mailing to another country does not make me feel like I will get the refund. Thank you for your email, how annoying to hear that your ordered item(s) are not as you expected. Exchanges and or returns are of course no problem, this can always be done within 30 days of receiving your item(s). As indicated on our website, we do not offer a free return service, we also do not have a department store in USA, we only work with our department store in China. We value our eco process, as indicated on our website, that is why we have chosen 1 central department store near our fabric. Enclosed is the return form, as we only have one warehouse in the world, we can only process returns through there. Returning to another address may result in the destruction of your package and will not suffice for a refund on your order. If that is not an option for you, we also offer the following: Since we prefer to avoid returns given the ecological process (CO2) emissions, you can then just keep your items and do not have to return anything. (For every 3 orders we plant a tree in the world). Here we can refund (10%) of your total order value to your payment method. (Klarna, Paypal or CreditCard) Then you can for example give the item to friends or family. We hope you can understand, and I hope to resolve this soon together with you."

Employment - Rheonix, Inc

I was contacted by individuals claiming to represent Rhoenix, Inc. regarding a remote job opportunity. The process moved unusually quickly, involving a brief online interview followed by a formal-looking offer letter sent via email. Red Flags Observed: Payment for Equipment: The "company" instructed me that I would need to purchase home office equipment (such as a laptop and specialized software) from a specific "certified vendor." Check Overpayment: They offered to send a check to cover these initial costs, which is a classic sign of a fake check scam. The goal is for the victim to deposit the check and send real money to the "vendor" before the bank realizes the original check is fraudulent. Communication Methods: Most communication occurred through email addresses that looked real. Vague Requirements: The job requirements were generic, and the salary offered was significantly higher than the market average for the tasks described.

We received a package addressed to my husband from Albatross America, Inc, on 14 Apr 2026. It contained women's XL strapless crop top in 3 colors. Neither one of us order this item. The package was delivered by USPS 9200 1903 5950 0615 4780 86. The USPS label was covering another label, so I carefully peeled it off. The second label read: To: Shelbie Smith From Liu Sheng Tel ****9208/****7076 AP00809027610199. The rest of this label was written in Chinese, I assume. I currently have a debit charge to our bank account for $26.99, on 6 Apr 2026, from Smrmjr. I'm calling the bank because I can find no information on this vendor. So it may be attached to our mystery package.

A year ago I was involved with this online person who was head of the company. The project was building solar farms in Taiwan. He needed funds to pay for invoices of the tariffs and delivery of solar equipment being delivered to Taiwan. He was there to oversee the project. Flash forward a year. After trying to get money back throughout the year, this company supposedly put the entire $108k that was sent into a crypto account called NexStocktrades .com. They assured me I’d have access to my funds after I sent another $5400 to “unlock” the account. I wired the funds to a bank in Tennessee. Wire was flagged as fraudulent and I recalled my wire transfer. The IT team then asked for gift cards to be sent as payment. I refused. Now I’m out $113,400 total from this individual.
